We live about 40 miles south of London and have always avoided it like the plague around Christmas, mainly because i've always thought that traffic will be hell, although have never experienced it.
This year, my brother and my SIL have invited us up to Clapham for a traditional Polish Christmas (which is celebrated on xmas eve). They would like us to go up there on xmas eve, play stupid games, eat pierogi, stay the night and then for us all to drive down together to our parents on xmas day.
I'm nervous to say the least. Whilst i would looove to see them and their new house and eat my own body weight in delicious polish food, i can't help but think that the traffic on xmas eve and possibly xmas day will be awful.
I'll be 17 weeks pg by then (although they won't know that until thursday) and the thought of being stuck in traffic and having to rush around on xmas morning leaves me cold.
How bad is the traffic on xmas eve and christmas? Should we just suck it up and go? Make a decision for me please!
